Man United hijack Chelsea's £26m Ben Chilwell backup plan for self-proclaimed 'next Beckham'

Chelsea look set to lose out on long-term transfer target Borna Sosa in the summer transfer window. Erik ten Hag is keen to make the Stuttgart defender his first Manchester United signing, according to German outlet Kicker.

The 24-year-old has featured 27 times in the Bundesliga this season, directly contributing to nine goals from left wing-back. However, his impressive displays haven't been enough to steer Stuttgart to safety; the German side sit third from the bottom and look set to compete in a relegation play-off unless results go their way on the final day.

Nonetheless, the Croatia international has reportedly continued to court the interest of Chelsea and United. Thomas Tuchel's side locked horns with Inter Milan for Sosa at the end of the January transfer window, according to Sky Sports Germany.
